Walvis Bay Lagoon Cruise
Moderate Activity
Includes snack
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Take a short drive from the harbor to the jetty and board an open speed boat and catamarans for a two- to three-hour cruise on the Walvis Bay Lagoon. The water here is usually very calm and abounds with bird and marine life.
The boat cuts across the lagoon so you can see the moored Russian trawlers, where inquisitive seals will swim up to the boat for something to eat. You will have the opportunity to feed fish to these playful animals.
Continue to Pelican Point, home to a large seal colony and schools of Heaviside and bottlenose dolphins, who delight in swimming alongside the boat.
Bird-lovers will see flamingos (seasonal), pelicans and cormorants, and perhaps even white-chinned and Wilson's storm petrels, Cape gannets and black oystercatchers.
To round off the trip, sparkling wine and fresh oysters, soft drinks and a selection of open sandwiches are served. Return to the jetty and transfer back to the ship.
